Description

Book Synopsis
Offering a rare glimpse of an elite Southern Californian community of drug dealers, this volume traces the lives of the author's key informants over a 15-year span as they entered, ascended and then quit the drug world. This revised edition reveals the current fate of several of the informants.

Trade Review
"A persuasive, credible, and imaginative analysis of a rather unusual and fascinating segment of social life... The very modest tone, scope, and aim of this tightly argued ethnographic work belies its profound and penetrating analysis of the drift of American life." -- Peter K. Manning, Contemporary Sociology
